AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
845 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2009

.DISCUSSION...

UPDATE...LARGE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WITH IMPRESSIVE COLD POOL IS
HOLDING ITS OWN AS IT MOVES FROM AR INTO NRN PORTIONS OF THE DELTA
REGION THIS EVNG...AND THE RISK FOR SVR WEATHER IS CONTINUING INTO
OUR FORECAST AREA GIVEN THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE.
HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT THE SVR TSTM WATCH AND INCREASED SVR
WX RISK...AND HAVE INCREASED POPS GREATLY IN THE NW HALF OF THE
AREA. /EC/

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...

FRIDAY CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE ITLL BE OUR BEST CHANCE TO SEE SOME
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE CWA AS A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH SWINGS SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE REGION.  THIS WILL FORCE A COLD
FRONT...THAT CURRENTLY RESIDES ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY...TO DROP SOUTH TOWARDS AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AT PRESENT...THE BEST COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY AND STORMS STILL
LOOK TO BE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HALVES OF THE CWA  DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. NORTHERN AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE GOOD
STORMS EARLY IN THE DAY WHICH SHOULD LOWER THEIR SEVERE POTENTIAL AS
THE DAY PROGRESSES.  WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS
THESE AREAS...ILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE BEST SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR
FRIDAY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.   IN
ADDITION TO THIS...WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE ROOTED OVER THE AREA AS
PRECIPITABLE H2O VALUES RANGE BETWEEN 2-2.5 INCHES...LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS BEGINNING WITH
SATURDAY. /19/

SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...WE WILL HAVE AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN
AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. AN UPPER TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE
REGION WHICH WILL SEND THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE REGION BY SATURDAY
MORNING. THIS GENERAL PATTERN WAS AGREED UPON BY THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS AND ENSEMBLES. THERE MAY BE A FEW SHOWERS IN THE SOUTH FOR
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THINGS SHOULD
DRY OUT IN THE SOUTH BY SUNDAY EVENING. A COOLER AIRMASS WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH WILL PROVIDE LESS WARM DAYS AND SOME
POSSIBLE RECORD LOWS FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS
SHOWS 3 TO 4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM NORMAL AVERAGE TEMPS FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR. THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL WEAKEN AS WE MOVE INTO
TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS FLAT UPPER RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS
THE REGION. THIS WILL INCREASE PRECIPITABLE WATER ACROSS THE REGION.
THIS WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION TO THE ARKLAMISS BY
WEDNESDAY. THE COOLER AIRMASS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BRING HIGHS IN
THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPS WILL BEGIN
TO WARM SOME FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS HIGHS TREND TOWARD THE
LOWER 90S. AS FOR LOWS WE MAY BE TOUCHING SOME RECORD READINGS FOR
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE MIDDLE
50S(WHICH IS 5 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW RECORD LOWS) TO MIDDLE 60S FOR
SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNING...THEN WILL RISE INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
60S BY TUESDAY MORNING. READINGS WILL RISE TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S ON WEDNESDAY MORNING AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE
REGION. AS FAR AS LOW TEMPS ARE CONCERN WENT CLOSE TO MEX NUMBERS
FOR THE COOL NIGHTS...WHICH IS AROUND THE LOW SIDE OF THE MOS
ENSEMBLES NUMBERS. WENT WITH THE HIGH SIDE OF THE ENSEMBLE NUMBERS
FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY MORNINGS. FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS WENT CLOSE
TO A MEX NUMBERS...WHICH IS ON THE LOW SIDE OF THE ENSEMBLE NUMBERS.
AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERN CUT DOWN POPS SOME SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20
FOR THE WEEKEND. /17/

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL IMPACT GLH AND GWO THIS
EVNG...AND POSSIBLY GTR AND JAN IF THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX HOLDS
TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH. A COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE SCT-NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING...ESPECIALLY FOR
JAN/MEI/HBG. QUIETER WEATHER WILL BE ON TAP FOR SATURDAY AS DRIER
AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT.
